Groundbreaking Ceremony for New Youth Building at Chabad of Charlotte

Chabad of Charlotte will host a groundbreaking ceremony on Sunday, March 11, for the first phase of its new expansion on the Chabad Campus on Sardis Road, with the construction of a new Friendship Circle and Youth Center.

The ceremony will be held Sunday, March 11, at 12:00 p.m., at the Chabad Campus, 6619 Sardis Road, in Charlotte.

Rabbi Yossi and Mariashi Groner founded Chabad of Charlotte in 1980, and have been operating on the Sardis Road Campus since the 90's. Increased participation and significant growth in all of Chabad's activities and programs have made it necessary to expand the facilities to accommodate increased demand.

Phase two of Chabad's expansion is construction of a new building in the front of the property with a beautiful sanctuary, expanded social hall, commercial kitchen and a inviting chapel for beginners services.

The Chabad Campus on Sardis Road currently boasts a state of the art facility for the Jewish Preschool on Sardis and recently added a beautiful new women's Mikvah in 2016.

The new youth center, will be the home base for Friendship Circle of Charlotte. The new center will also house all of Chabad's youth programming as well as a dedicated space for teen activities. Construction of the youth building is projected to begin in the first quarter of 2018.

The groundbreaking ceremony is open to the entire Charlotte Jewish community. A barbecue lunch will fill the ceremony.

The day's events will be led by Rabbi Bentzion and Rochel Groner, directors of Friendship Circle, and honor Friendship Circle and Talmud Torah families.
